Fabulously Controversial
Whether you want to say that Beyonce has once again overstepped her boundaries in her upcoming shoot for L'Officiel Paris Magazine's 90th anniversary magazine cover, one cannot deny her undoubted beauty and finesse! It has been quite controversial, the idea of an African American subjecting themselves to black face yet who is to question what shade of black is beautiful! Let alone harnessing the negative instead of exuding the positive. We as black women, all shades, are beautiful, even though this concept is never in the media! What we see on television is rarely the likeness of us as black women. Furthermore, Beyonce projected a darker skin tone to project her African lineage and commemorate Nigerian legend Fela Kuti. Quite the controversy, I think not! Captivating and effervescent, I think so!
It takes someone undoubtedly in the public eye to show the public that black, is indeed beautiful and here to stay! Black face is part of our history of where African Americans come from, so instead of viewing it as a negative we should change it into something beautiful! Why run from who we are instead of embracing how far and where we have come. I think as women we need to band together and show our daughter the photographs, and explain that we must be bold and unforgotten!
With all greatness, there are condemners! So be fabulousin your skin, whatever shade, or appearance!
